Comfort

• HEAVY DUTY THREE-PIECE DOOR DESIGN: Three piece, easy-to-open door design features a steel inner structure, a molded outer door skin and a molded inner door panel for a quality feel. Robust inner door handles keep the mud out to provide smooth operation, even in challenging conditions. Doors feature integrated snap-out speaker panels for easy upgradability and soft touchpoints for a premium feel. To ease entering and exiting the vehicle, the front doors feature an enlarged opening, 63% wider than previous Wolverine models. Further increasing comfort, the front shoulder bolster shapes were optimized to expand the upper body opening to maintain a great, secure-feeling on the trail for riders big and small.
• COMFORTABLE, SECURE SEATS: An exceptional seating position provides a planted feel and reduces fatigue, which is essential for occupants to enjoy the driving experience.

Additional comfort points are strategically placed in locations where knees and arms frequently contact interior components.
• REVISED SUSPENSION: A suspension tune is aimed at increasing capability and comfort at a range of speeds and differing terrains. That means a more plush feel in tight, technical low-speed terrain; improved damping and a better feeling of connection to the ground at average trail speeds; and a smoother ride with more bottoming resistance at higher speeds.
• COMFORT SUNTOP: For extra comfort, the suntop is engineered to keep the sun and other elements off occupants while offering the ultimate in accessory incorporation with integrated sealing surfaces and mounting points for a variety of Yamaha Genuine Accessories.

Confidence

• THE TOUGHEST TRANSMISSION: The Proven Off-Road technology of Yamaha's Ultramatic® system is unmatched in the industry. Backed by the industry's only 10-year limited belt warranty, the CVT system utilizes a centrifugal wet clutch purpose-built to withstand the power from the potent 999cc engine, and a constant-tension belt system for tackling obstacles in high rev range without fear of damaging the belt. When more torque is needed, the low gear is perfect for challenging conditions. The robust CVT system means less time switching gears and more fun taking on any terrain.
• EXCELLENT BRAKING SYSTEM: The one-way sprag clutch offers natural and predictable all-wheel engine braking at all speeds, maximizing traction, boosting confidence on hill descents and reducing wear on the vehicle's brake system.
